LG washing machine may not be well-known in China, but in the European and American markets, LG washing machine is one of the best in terms of share and reputation, in the United States "Consumer Reports" evaluation, the top ten models with comprehensive scores are nine from LG, the British evaluation agency WHICH and Australia's Choice also gave such a consistent high evaluation.
 
LG's signature feature is the use of inverter direct-drive motors throughout the line, which is the originator of direct-drive drum washing machines. Direct drive motors, commonly known as DD motors, have a large output torque and can directly drive the drum without the need for transmission components such as deceleration clutches and belts, so they are called direct drives, and their performance and durability are greatly improved compared with traditional motors, and the noise is also lower. LG is not the only washing machine manufacturer on the market that uses DD motor, but DD motor is not easy to control, and controlling the motor operation and balance is the core technology.
 
One of the major advantages of DD direct drive is that the speed range is wide and the response speed is fast, and in practice, LG washing machine can achieve rapid turn and emergency stop and fast reversal when washing, and make operations that are difficult to achieve with traditional motors, such as LG's emphasis on promoting 6 intelligent hand washing modes of simulated knocking, rubbing, squeezing, kneading, shaking, and solution, all of which rely on the performance of DD motor emergency turn and emergency stop, as well as just the right precise control, effectively improving the washing speed and washing ratio.
 
LG drum washing machine from the basic products of more than 2,000 yuan to the flagship products priced at tens of thousands of yuan are covered, the whole system is equipped with DD direct drive motors, and all support up to 95 °C high temperature boiling and washing, LG in the washing of software and hardware strength is undoubted, especially its two or three thousand yuan price range, the cost performance is not lost to the domestic brand.
 
In addition to the washing power, the appearance of the LG washing machine is also very impressive, with a wide window and an ultra-thin body, which are unique in the electrical appliance store. The WD-L51HNG20, priced at 2,400 yuan, is LG's best-selling model, and the 3,400 yuan WD-C51KNF20 is also a very competitive washer-dryer model. However, the thickness of the above two 7kg products is only 450mm, which is 100mm thinner than conventional products, which is very space-saving, because LG has increased the diameter of the inner barrel to reduce the thickness and increase the volume, and the wider inner barrel improves the strength of beating clothes and can also improve the washing ratio.
 
In addition, the shape, size, weight and drying capacity of 8 kg and 9 kg products are the same, which shows that the inner barrel of the same specification is used, which is more common in washing machine products, and it is more cost-effective to buy 8 kg products. WD-M51TNG45 is recommended for 8kg washing machines, and WD-C51ANF48 is recommended for washing and drying integration.
 
In the mid-to-high-end product line, compared with the entry-level model, the steam washing function has been added, and many brands call similar functions air washing, waterless washing or simply hot air sterilization, which essentially uses high-temperature steam to remove the smell or bacteria on the clothes, and has no cleaning effect on visible stains.
 
LG's Shuangqing series is its flagship product line, using the upper drum and lower wave wheel design, the main classification and washing at the same time, the price is more than 10,000 yuan, and the top four models in the United States "Consumer Reports" are all Shuangqing series. For drum washing machines, the laundry program is mostly for the fabric, and the clothes to be washed at one time are unlikely to be the same fabric, the color is not the same and often dyeing troubles, the double barrel design can wash alternative clothes separately, effectively solve this pain point, only increase the height of 30-50 cm in the volume, and the accompanying benefit is that the drum height is increased, and it becomes more convenient to put and take clothes. If you have enough budget, you can choose LG's Seal Shuangqing washing machine, which is LG's flagship home appliance product line launched in 2016, including large home appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, etc., which are quite pursued in terms of technology and design. It is one of the few washing machines on the market with a heat pump drying function, and the heat pump drying is better than the common condensing drying in terms of efficiency.
 
Although LG's soft and hard work in washing is very good, and the appearance is outstanding, but the performance in ease of use is average, and the intelligent detergent function supported by many brands is almost completely absent from LG's domestic product line, and it is only equipped with a product that costs tens of thousands of yuan. WIFI AND OTHER INTELLIGENT FUNCTIONS ARE NOT PRACTICAL FROM THE EVALUATION FEEDBACK, LOCALIZATION IS NOT GOOD, THERE IS NO INTELLIGENT LINKAGE ABILITY, AND THE FUNCTION OF APP IS FAR INFERIOR TO DOMESTIC BRAND PRODUCTS.
 
LG washing machines are basically equipped with a smart diagnosis function, which can be used to understand the condition of the washing machine through a mobile phone app or by calling a repair diagnosis call. LG adopts a warranty policy of one year for the whole machine, 10 years for DD motors, and three years for major components (clutch, computer board, capacitors). The warranty policy of the motor leads the industry, but the warranty period of the whole machine is lower than the industry average of three years, but LG is the brand with the lowest failure rate in the American "Consumer Reports", and the characteristics of its motor also roughly determine its durability, so consumers do not need to worry too much.
